Adsense does not always work
Monday, September 22nd, 2008 | Blog tips | 1 Comment
Someone said to me that adsense sometimes sucks until you get a million visitors. Maybe he is right. It is not always true that adsense will be the best ad option for you. Although adsense is not predictable until you start getting few hundred visitors per day. After that you can try out few ad placements and see which works best for you. Adsense works for some niche or rather some blogs, while may not be that good on your blog. So keep trying other ad options too. At one stage, you will reach a perfect blend of ads and then you can go for that till end.

Choosing the right blog theme for your blog is very much important. Especially if you are trying to really give some good quality content to your site’s visitors. Loyal readers do like simple, neat and clean blog theme which make them browse your blogs post and access it flexibly. It isn’t necessary to put all the widget available on this planet in your blog so that your theme is fantastic. Its nothing but show off and fancy. Instead have simple and sober theme which suits your niche and content and highlights main areas of blogs. Like the theme of this tech news site. Having a fancy colorful theme wont help you either, what you need is good content and SEO.
Basics of SEO

Every system has its core base and when it comes to SEO for site/blog, there are only 2 main basics :
1. Links : To rank good, it is necessary to get more and more inlinks to your site. Especially from your niche related arena. Don’t get links from spam and po** sites. They hurt your organic rankings. More the no. of links your site has, more google will rank you better for your desired keyword. Links are like trustworthiness and importance to google to know your site. try getting links from PR 4 + sites, they are considered more quality links.
2. Content : Your blog should have more and more content if you want to get traffic more. More the content, better for you. write good content and get relevant links - simple formula. You should post regularly on your blog. Not 5 one week and 2 another week. Post regularly adjusting your frequency.
Other factors are like having some seo plugins, tweaking meta tags, etc.
Desi blogs emerging a lot in India
Monday, May 12th, 2008 | Blog tips | No Comments
Past an year, i have seen several Desi Indian blogs focusing especially on Indian blogosphere and Indian environment. Many are popular ones like Desipundit, etc. At first, they were just for leisure purpose but now they also earn good by serving adsense on their blogs. Its actually a nice idea if you have something regional to speak of. At long term, it can lead good income for INDIANS (Its no point for other country people, few dollars are worth for Indians but not for people living in countries having higher currency as you wont get much unless you serious about it)
Do your visitors know your site at first sight ?
Monday, May 12th, 2008 | Blog tips | No Comments
While making a great content site, one thing which is very much important is that your keep it as much clean as possible. There is know use of fancying your site for nothing. Keeping all widgets and plugins under this planet so that your blog/site looks great is actually nothing but a foolishness. Firstly, if you have made your blog for only SEO purpose, then of course its no use designing your site. And if for quality purpose, than people will look at some worth reading article on the site. Designing, themes, widgets, etc. are just for a bit flexibility to visitors. There is actually no use of confusing your visitors with tons of widgets and extras. Maybe, if you are new to blogging, you may do all this fancy stuff but at later stage you will realize that this is pointless.
Stability comes with posting regularly
Thursday, April 24th, 2008 | Blog tips | No Comments
While blogging, stability in posting regularly is very much important. The first thing that you should do when starting a blog is that you plan up whether you can write on it regularly, although its a different thing that you hire people or guest writers for it on later stage. But in initial phase, you need to keep blogging regularly and not haphazardly. You can’t have 10 posts a week and 3 another week. You need consistency. Regular posting will help you rank much faster and better in search engines. Also, your writing skills will develop and with passage of time you will notice the difference in writing style of your earlier and current posts.
Plagiarism on this blog
Sunday, April 6th, 2008 | Blog tips | 1 Comment
Some one has very cleverly copied content from this blog, about 7 good articles. We will need to remove them (articles) for now 
. The guy who copied it was very clever, he copied the content from blog when this blog was very young . That guy had established blog and he just did 100% copy paste and made sure they were indexed by google. Our was new blog and new sites take time to get their content indexed by google. Plus he used the ‘Time post stamp’ feature to change the articles date 1 months olders than our blog !!
The impact of dollar one
Wednesday, March 5th, 2008 | Blog tips | No Comments
You might consider what is the importance of $1? Well, it has the same importance as numerical zero (0) has. Zero put after any number increases its value multiple times. I am not telling any zero advantage (!) here but what an impact dollar one has. I have visited various job boards and selling places. At one place, the price is $99 and at other $100. Now as you see, there is minor difference of $1. But i am sure the place having $99 will out number the sales than places having $100 price. Reason is not $1 less (lol) but 99 creates an effect of being of lesser value than 100. This is natural way of human psychology.
Or $49 and $50. $49 creates an impact of being more reasonable and cheaper while $50 being only $1 more will look like costlier than $49. I hope you are getting my point here.
Keep reviving older posts
Tuesday, March 4th, 2008 | Blog tips | No Comments
It is necessary that we keep reviving older posts of our blog. When you started blog few months back, i am sure there was no one else other than you reading your blogs initial 50 posts. But that posts were more valuable than you are publishing today. But they wouldn’t come to the notice of your visitors untill you keep linking them appropriately from time to time in your coming articles. Also this technique is very essential (yeah) for your site seo because it is building inlinks which will immensely help you rank better in terms of PageRank and specific keywords also.
Dont be Cnet,be personal
Saturday, February 23rd, 2008 | Blog tips, Seo tips | No Comments
If you are going to develop a blog in which you are providing some valuable information(like this one ?),then write the content as if its your personal blog.Don’t take that way.I am not talking about writing about your girlfriend or your family problems but with respect to solely yourself.Like use
” I dont like the way this company agrees ….”
Here you have used ‘I’ in the beginning.What many do is:
“xyz(your blog name) doesnt like the way this company agrees..”.
Don’t try to be a Cnet or Znet group for nothing.Be personal.People tend to like an individuals review and authority more than a whole company or group.It seems interesting in reading.Try to be in your visitors shoe and you will note this fact.
